KosCIUSKo STAR: The Messenger
speaks of the "barking" of the Anti
Lowry press. Well, that's better than
our neighbor has ever done. He has
never got beyond a whine. 1t is bet
ter to be dog than act the puppy.
Eli, neighbor?
OXFORD FALCON: There are but
two political party organizations i'll the
State-the Democratic and Republic
cam-and when You hear of an indie
pendent candidate, you may put him
down on the Republican list. He is
generally disappointed, disgruntled
sore head and does not deserve recOg-
milton.
CLAY COUNTY LEADER: The Me-
ridian News conclusively shows up
the correspondent of the Jackson Adj
vertiser, "a. G. NJ" to be
falsifier. "a. G. NJ" wrote to the Adj
vertiser that prohibition had killed the
city, and the News shows that his
assertions are not true. There are Il
good many "a. G.. Ms" i'll the
world.
VICKsBURG HERALD: Our State
Fair. although laboring under many
disadvantages, will prove of vast ben
eft. Among the most valuable results
is the splendid proof offered of the
worth of intensive farming. Think OF
one hundred and fifty-two bushels of
corn raised on one acre of land in
Leakc county, one of the poorest coun-
ties i'll the State.
WEssoN ARGOsY: Our paper Will
be published III the interest of all class
es who are laboring for the Right. 1t
will be an organ of the people and not
of faction-If such should arise here.
We shall advocate Democratic, PrOhi-
bition and Reform principles when
they do not SAVIOR of fanaticism. But
we would state here that we think
there is Il highway that extends en-
tirely through these three provinces
before it reaches the borders of fanat-
icism.
NICKsBURG Posi-: Chancellor Pey-
toms splendid record should insure
his re-appointmcnt. But if petitions
are needed to secure his re-appoint-
ment, We believe Il majority of the
people of the State will sign them.
Judge Pcyton was equal to the emer-
gency'at II critical time and it has
been his good fortune to DO more than
any other man in the State to advance
the cause Of law and order and to give
protection to human life.
TrpHLo JorRNAL: Concerning the
States indebtedness TO the University.
senator George, no matter how the
case is decided, will have the graft
tudc of the people for the thorough in
veStigation he has made and the able
opinion he has expressed concerning
it. The Lamar crowd hates George
worse than the devil hates holy water,
on account of his sturdy independent
manhoOG.and answering devotion to
the interests OF the people, and they
imagine that his action in the Univer-
sity matter has furniscd them IL cudgel
with which to belahor him, but they
will not be long in finding ont their
I.mistake.
NICKsBURG HERALD: The trouble
between the sugar planters and their
lahorers in Louisiana, are directly
traceable to their being organized into
Knights of Labor. Before they were
thus organized they got along well
with their employers, and we have
not the slightest doubt they received
as good wages as laborers oftheir class
anywhere in the world The trouble
is in the ignorance and prejudice of
their race. This was clearly demon
stratcd by the action of the cOlored
Masons in Let1ore county. They sub
verified the true purpose of the noble
order of Masonry, and actually, as Ma
sons, pcrpetrated the most revolving
| crimes.
LELAND RECORD: President Cleve-
land has taken the people all unto
himself. The great opposition to him
| in the Delta vanished when he com
mitted himself to river Improvement.
He gave notice that jobs and steals
would not be allowed in any bill for
river Improvement. He right. We, of
the Valley, were almost willing to sub
nit to any bill that would give aid to
the Improvement of the Mississippi
river, forgetting that the many other
"riders" would cause the actual good
done, TO cost double the required
amount. AS the matter stands the
| friends of the cause will know how to
shape their work and see that no eX-
travagant jobs are attempted. The
| President will not allow it. and no
good American citizen should ask it.
SIGNAL-CorIAHAN: The era of good
feeling and the absence of turmoil,
scrambles and contentious has been Il
blessing to this county, and goes far
